- <para>Although Sylpheed-Claws is a graphical application and can be mainly commanded with your preferred point-and-click device, it also requires to use the keyboard frequently. Composing mail is the most common of this keyboard requiring tasks, and there's people who writes lots of mails. Moving hands appart from keyboard greatly reduces productivity for these people, so Sylpheed-Claws tries to provide keyboard shortcuts to allow faster operation.

- <para>There are other key combinations who are assigned by default to options on menus. We won't list these here, as they are already shown on the right side of the menus themselves, so you can easly learn them with the usage.
